Within the entertainment industry, Jane Seymour’s name is synonymous with sophistication, talent, and timeless beauty.
The 72-year-old, who is renowned for her varied acting career, has been lighting up screens for a long time with her superb performances.
Apart from her notoriety in Hollywood, Seymour is a dedicated mother and author.
She has truly managed to traverse the joys and challenges of being a parent, even with the unique experience of raising twin boys.
Seymour, who has been married and divorced four times, is the proud mother of Katherine, 41, and Sean, 38, who were born during her marriage to David Flynn. In addition, she has two boys, Kristopher Steven and John Stacy, who are 27 years old, from her marriage to filmmaker James Keach.
The path to motherhood
Seymour encountered many challenges when becoming a mother. She talked candidly with People about how she and her ex-husband, Keach, nearly gave up on their aspirations after experiencing two miscarriages after in-vitro pregnancy. However, at 44, she conceived her third child, and this time, it worked, resulting in the birth of twin boys, John and Kristopher.
Pre-eclampsia caused the boys’ emergency C-section delivery to occur six weeks early.
Given this, the twins encountered problems from the start. The pregnancy and birth included significant dangers, and Seymour and the twins narrowly escaped a disastrous outcome. “I nearly died having them, and the babies nearly died,” she disclosed in an interview with Loose Women.
Seymour says he’s glad he had children, but he’s never regretted taking that chance.The twins needed constant supervision in their early years because of their early birth.
Seymour claimed that both boys had health issues; Johnny even went blue twice after returning from the hospital.
This led to their readmission to the hospital, where their swallowing, sucking, and breathing were monitored. Seymour was clearly committed to her twins’ welfare.
She chose choices that allowed her to spend as much time as possible with her children, often including them in her filmmaking.

I Left My Newborn with My Husband for a Work Trip, He Began Acting Weird When I Returned – His Reason Shocked Me
I left my newborn with my husband during a medical conference, but when I returned, his behavior was off — withdrawn, and overwhelmed. As the tension between us escalated, I feared our marriage might collapse under the weight of unfulfilled promises and the strain of new parenthood.
I became a neurologist because my work gave me purpose. I’d been a troubled teen, so dedicating my life to something greater than myself seemed like a redemption arc.

And I found fulfillment in helping patients. But it wasn’t just about the work; it was about the life I built around it — a life with James. We’ve been married for four years. He worked in marketing and made significantly less money than me, but it never mattered.
James and I had always agreed on one thing — children were not a priority. I preferred adoption if we were going down that road. Biological children? I was ambivalent at best.

But then, his best friend had a baby boy, and everything changed. James started talking about having a kid of our own. I wasn’t convinced, but then, life decided for us when, soon after, I found out I was pregnant.
“So, what do we do?” I had asked, looking at James.
“Let’s keep it. We’ll make it work,” he said, squeezing my hand.
We agreed he would quit his job to stay home with our daughter, Lily, until she was old enough for preschool. My work was my life, and I had no desire to become a housewife.

Lily was born, and soon, my maternity leave was up. I had a medical conference out of state and left James alone with Lily for the weekend. He assured me he’d handle it.
“Call me if you need anything,” I told him before leaving.
“Don’t worry, Rachel. We’ll be fine,” he smiled, holding Lily.
***
When I returned, something was off. James was withdrawn, not his usual upbeat self.
“Hey, how was the conference?” he asked, but his eyes didn’t meet mine.

“Good. What’s going on here? You seem… different.”
He shrugged, focusing on Lily in his arms. “Nothing. Just tired, I guess.”
“Tired?” I probed. “James, what’s wrong?”
He looked at me then, eyes filled with something I couldn’t place. “I… I don’t know if I can do this.”
“Do what?” I asked, though I already feared the answer.
“This. Stay home with Lily. I feel trapped, Rachel. Overwhelmed.”
His words hit me like a punch to the gut. “You said you could handle it. You agreed to this!”

“I know, but it’s harder than I thought. I’m not cut out for this.”
“So, what are you suggesting? That I give up my career? Extend my maternity leave?”
“Maybe we could consider daycare,” he said softly.
“Daycare? We agreed!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “I made sacrifices, James. My career —”
“And what about my sacrifices? I quit my job for this. I’m asking for help, Rachel.”
“Help? This isn’t what we planned. We had an agreement!” My voice rose, frustration boiling over. At that moment, Lily started crying, and James looked like he might break.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, tears welling up. “I just need help.”
I stared at him, feeling betrayed. The man I relied on was crumbling, and our agreement seemed to be falling apart. I needed time to think, to process.
But Lily’s cries demanded attention, and for now, all I could do was hold her close, feeling the weight of the sacrifices we both had made.

The next few days were tense. James avoided talking about it, burying himself in household chores and baby duties. I buried myself in work, leaving early and coming home late. We were living in the same house but miles apart.
One evening, after putting Lily to bed, I sat down next to James on the couch. “We need to talk.”
He sighed, not looking away from the TV. “Yeah, I know.”
“This isn’t working, James. We’re both miserable.”

“I’m doing my best, Rachel,” he snapped. “I never said this would be easy.”
“But you promised. You said you’d stay home with Lily. Now you’re backing out?”
“I’m not backing out! I just —” He ran a hand through his hair, exasperated. “I didn’t realize how hard it would be. I feel trapped.”
I felt a surge of anger. “So what? You think I don’t feel trapped sometimes? You think I wanted to go back to work so soon?”

“You have a choice, Rachel. You could stay home.”
“And throw away everything I’ve worked for? No. We made a plan.”
He stood up, pacing the room. “Maybe the plan was wrong. Maybe we rushed into this.”
“Rushed into this?” I echoed, incredulous. “You were the one who wanted a baby, remember? I never would have agreed to have Lily if I knew you’d change your mind.”
His face fell, and he looked genuinely hurt. “Do you regret having her?”

I paused, taken aback. “No, I don’t. But I regret that we’re failing her because we can’t get our act together.”
“So, what are you saying? Divorce?” His voice was barely a whisper.
“I don’t know, James. But something has to change.”
***
The next day, I took matters into my own hands. Before he could say anything, I emerged from the kitchen, holding a glass of water. “Meet Claire,” I said calmly. “She’s our new nanny.”
His face twisted in confusion and anger. “What? A nanny? We can’t afford that!”

I handed the glass of water to Claire and gestured for her to sit down. “Actually, we can. You’ll be going back to work, and working from home from now on. All your earnings will go towards paying Claire. She’ll help during the day so you can focus on your work.”
His face turned red with anger. “This is insane! You can’t just decide this without talking to me!”
I stepped closer, my voice firm but controlled. “We talked about this at the very beginning. You made a promise. You agreed to stay home and take care of our daughter. If you can’t do that, then we need to discuss other options.”

He looked at me, bewildered. “Other options? What do you mean?”
“I mean, we can get a divorce,” I said plainly. “You’ll be a single dad, and I’ll pay child support. But you can’t make me take on the responsibility that you agreed to handle. I’ve worked too hard to get where I am, and I won’t let you derail my career.”
He sank onto the couch, his head in his hands. “I don’t want a divorce. I just… I didn’t realize how hard it would be.”

I softened my tone slightly. “I understand it’s hard. That’s why Claire is here to help. But you need to step up. Our daughter needs both of us to be strong for her.”
Claire started the following Monday. She was a godsend. James was initially resistant, but as days went by, he began to appreciate her help. The house was calmer, and for the first time in weeks, James seemed more at ease.
One evening, as I watched James feeding Lily with a smile, I felt a flicker of hope. Maybe we could make this work after all.

“I’m sorry,” he said one night, as we lay in bed. “I should’ve been more supportive.”
“I’m sorry too,” I replied. “I should’ve listened to you more.”
“Claire’s great with Lily,” he admitted. “It’s making a difference.”
“I’m glad,” I said, squeezing his hand. “We’ll get through this, babe. We have to.”

Slowly, things began to improve. With Claire’s assistance, James adjusted to his new role. He started to bond with Lily, gaining confidence as he navigated the challenges of childcare. He picked up some freelance marketing work from home, which eased the financial strain.
As for me, I threw myself back into my practice, balancing my demanding career with my family responsibilities. It wasn’t easy, but knowing that James had the support he needed made it bearable.
One night, after Lily was asleep, James and I sat on the porch, enjoying a rare moment of peace. “We’re getting there,” he said, wrapping an arm around me.

“Yeah, we are,” I agreed, leaning into him.
“I never realized how hard this would be,” he admitted. “But I’m glad we’re doing it together.”
“Me too,” I said. “I love you, James.”
“I love you too. And I love Lily. We’ll make this work.”
We sat in silence, watching the stars, feeling a sense of renewed commitment. We had a long road ahead, but we were stronger together. And for the first time in a long while, I believed we could face anything as long as we had each other.
